No mixer needed for this colorful, tasty, lemon-blueberry loaf. A tried-and-true recipe I have used for many years. Like most sweet loaves, this one tastes best when wrapped tightly and allowed to sit for a day to let the flavors meld.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray , such as Pam®
  • 0.75 cups white sugar
  • 0.25 cups butter , melted and slightly cooled
  • 0.25 cups sour cream
  • 2 eggs , beaten
  • 1 medium lemon , zested and juiced, divided
  • 0.33 cups milk
  • 1.67 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons salt
  • 1.25 cups frozen blueberries , unthawed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Whisk together sugar, melted butter, sour cream, eggs, and lemon juice in a large bowl until thoroughly blended. Mix in milk.

  3. 3

    Stir together flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest in a separate bowl.

  4. 4

    Remove 2 tablespoons flour mixture and place in a third, smaller bowl with frozen blueberries; stir to coat. Stir remaining flour mixture into milk-sour cream mixture with a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, blending until just combined. Fold floured blueberries into batter and transfer into the prepared loaf pan.

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.

  6. 6

    Meanwhile, mix together icing sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl for the topping.

  7. 7

    Remove loaf from the oven and immediately poke holes all over the top with a toothpick. Pour topping over loaf and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove loaf to a wire rack to cool completely.
